Shopping in West Jefferson, NCWe spent the weekend in the mountains and spent one day in downtown West Jefferson, NC. It's so pretty right in the mountains and has several cute shops and boutiques! Here are some of the cool things I found shopping that I would recommend! Shops:
Pretty 'n Pearls: This is a shop that has bridal/prom attire, but also much more! They carry some great clothes and jewelry…and Jack Rogers! This is where I found this outfit… the sea foam colored top with a criss-cross back and lace on the arms, and blue palazzo pants that are SO comfy and cute! I also found my white Jack Rogers sandals (they have a good selection) and my John Wind initial bracelet here. The John Wind jewelry is really nice and becoming more and more popular. The coolest part about the bracelet is that the big pearl is made out of cotton! It doesn't get much more Southern than cotton and pearls! :)//Find their website here Petal Pusher Designs: This is a really neat little shop with lots of home decor, etc. This pack of drizzle melts is from here…they're perfect to put in a tart warmer or Scentsy. From the Swan Creek Candle Co., these are made of natural American soybean wax and they have several different scents. This one is Roasted Espresso and smells awesome…just like walking into a coffee shop!//More on the store here//Swan Creek Candle Co. website The Honey Hole: This is a cute, unique shop…it has an observation colony where you can actually see live bees working through the glass! It features honey and some really neat honey and bee-themed gifts, including several homemade soaps. I found this "Honey & Grits" homemade soap here. It smells good and the grits in it work to exfoliate!//Find their website here If you're ever near West Jefferson, NC you should try out these cute shops and more…or look them up online! Good finds and favorites!These are some of my favorite things for this time of year and that I have found recently! Tyler Candle: Pineapple Crush//I bought this at my favorite local boutique, La T Dah Boutique in Albemarle, NC. They have a great selection of Tyler Candles. If you buy the 22 oz. candle there, they will monogram it for you (love!). //Pineapple Crush is my favorite scent…perfect for spring and summer! This brand of candles lasts so long too. Pink Striped Umbrella//Victoria's Secret//I found this super cute umbrella at Victoria's Secret…free when you spend $75 or more. Perfect to add some color to those rainy days and "April showers!" Pineapple Candle Holder//Bath & Body Works//I'm slightly obsessed with pineapples…they're so pretty and the symbol of Southern hospitality. So I was really excited to find this ceramic pineapple candle holder on a pedestal to decorate for Spring and Summer! Body Scrub: Bourbon Strawberry & Vanilla//Bath & Body Works//Bath & Body Works has come out with a Southern line of products and they're amazing! They were running a buy 3, get 3 free sale, so my mother-in-law and I went a little crazy! :) The Bourbon Strawberry & Vanilla smells heavenly and the body scrub works great, especially preparing to tan this summer!
